ALLENDALE TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- A multi-vehicle crash just before 1 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon in Allendale Township has resulted in the death of a 70-year-old woman.
It occurred at the intersection of Lake Michigan Drive and 84th Avenue.
The Ottawa County Sheriff's office says a semi-truck and several cars were involved. The east- and west-bound lanes of Lake Michigan Drive were closed for more than three hours while police worked on an on-scene investigation.
Police say an Allendale woman's car was hit from behind by another car driven by a 20-year-old Allendale man. That propelled her eastbound vehicle into the westbound lanes.
Her vehicle was then hit by the semi, which was driven by a 73-year-old man from Coopersville.
First responders arrived on the scene moments later, but were unable to save the woman's life. No one else was injured.
After the crash investigation, the affected lanes of traffic reopened late Tuesday afternoon.
